for persons with only a high school diploma both the rates of j oblessness and the disparity between t he rate for blacks and that for whites were greater an unemployment rate of 85 percent for blacks versus 4 percent for whites

3
but once the shortterm unemployed pool is depleted then the longterm unemployed will become more relevant to the labor market supply so their impact on wages and the labor market will likely increase as the labor market tightens
0

this is almost the same level as the structural unemployment rate which is estimated to be around 35 percent
0
5
if we include those in labour market policy measures unemployment still amounts to almost 7 which indicates about 3 more unemployed now than in the 1970s and 1980s

the unemployment rate is almost 1 percentage point lower than it was a year ago but we are still far from full employment

0
17
the unemployment rate has moved up a little over recent months and wage growth remains subdued
0
18
this number is much larger than we would expect at 67 percent unemployment based on past experience and the existence of such a large pool of partly unemployed workers is a sign that labor conditions are worse than indicated by the unemployment rate

the social safety net must guarantee adequate income support to anyone who loses a job and is actively seeking another

the time lag between gdp and unemployment also appears to have increased during the 2000s

on the other hand the unemployment rate albeit falling still remains above 10 amid a continuous 2 bis central bankers speeches increase in the participation rate in the labour force since the crisis

second labor market conditions are becoming tighter as indicated by the decline in the unemployment rate

but it is not unreasonable to expect this margin of potential hours worked to move in line with unemployment
0
40
as a result the unemployment rate is likely to decline over the near term at a very gradual pace if at all
0
41
youth unemployment has more than doubled i n some countries the rise of youth unemployment since the start of the crisis is stupefying
0
42
indeed although i expect that growth will pick up and unemployment will decline somewhat next year we cannot rule out the possibility that unemployment might rise further in the near term creating added risks for the recovery

the labor market has been tight and the unemployment rate was 35 percent declining to roughly the same level as the structural unemployment rate

it is projected that unemployment in the us could soon reach doubledigits

at a time that us unemployment is very high this is a particularly unacceptable outcome
0
62
unemployment in the eu and the euro area has reached historic levels especially amongst the youth
0
63
employment growth has also remained firm although an increasing mismatch between the number of unemployed and job vacancies points towards more slack in the labour market
0
64
the unemployment rate further fell to 81 per cent in 2022q2 from 87 per cent in 2022q1
0
65
the unemployment rate remained elevated in may at 58 percent and this figure understates the shortfall in employment particularly as participation in the labor market has not moved up from the low rates that have prevailed for most of the past year
0
66
however the unemployment rate is an inadequate indicator of labour market slack particularly when the participation rate fluctuates
0
67
however the unemployment rate continues to be high and hence the employment and income situation of households overall still remains severe
0
68
in particular if the unemployment rate were already below its longerrun natural rate as may be the case currently the impact on wage growth and price inflation would still likely take some time to become evident

i expect the unemployment rate to fall slightly below 35 percent next year the lowest level in nearly 50 years

our central forecast is for the unemployment rate to decline to below 4 per cent later this year and remain below 4 per cent next year
0
76
the unemployment response is even more lagged remaining steady for almost 2 years before increasing
0
77
the unemployment rate has declined and wage growth should firm as remaining slack diminishes
0
78
meanwhile the latest registered unemployment rate stands at 42 in june
0
79
unemployment in the us above 8 per cent has been persistently high
0
80
a low employment rate implies that a significant part of the working age population is either unemployed or inactive outside the workforce
0
81
of course this effect may be larger if rigid labour market institutions complicate the task of finding a new job while the literature also finds that the level of the tax wedge or the inadequate design of unemployment benefits are important drivers of structural unemployment
0
82
formal employment has maintained a positive trend and the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since 2009 even though it remains above precrisis averages
0
83
while the various jobretention schemes introduced by governments have so far been effective in cushioning the fall in income and preventing a more precipitous decline in employment and the numbers of people enrolled in those schemes are falling as activity picks up keeping job support schemes in place is critical to avoid a sharp increase in unemployment later in the year

0
94
we were experiencing the longest expansion on record and unemployment had reached historic lows
0
95
there are obviously cases where older people have difficulty finding work but the data show that the unemployment rate or those who despair of finding a job did not increase as a result of raising the retirement age

This dataset contains two manually pre-labeled datasets:

In the economic agents dataset, we labeled 6,205 randomized sentences from a Fed database containing speeches (1948-2023) as speaking either about households, firms, the financial sector, the government, or the central bank itself.

In the sentiment dataset, we labeled 6,683 randomized sentences from the same database, which are either labeled as being positive (1) or negative (0).

The datasets were used to train an agent classifier and a sentiment classifier.
